Roger Pearson is a child pornographer and kidnapper.
Background[]
Roger and his wife Alexa began producing child pornography before they were caught at one point and Roger was sent to prison. Both were also put on the sex offender registry as a result of their offenses. When Roger was released, he reunited with Alexa who was waiting for him and they started adopting unwanted children and use them to make further child pornography paraphernalia.
The pair kidnapped several children and exploited them for child pornography. Roger would also claim disability checks, by giving the appearance of needing a wheelchair, hiding his ability to walk from his wife. On Christmas, he had dealings with Little Tino who he had previously sold him a ten-year-old girl once. Roger was sold a baby that he gave as a gift to Alexa.
Wednesday's Child[]
When a boy goes missing in 2014, the Special Victims Unit detectives find out his adoptive mother gave him away to Roger and his wife. Detectives Benson, Rollins, Tutuola, and Amaro find the boy and several other children being used in a pornography video. Alexa is later arrested at a hotel, where she has been hiding with the children in the video and a teenage girl. One of the hostage children is an infant named Noah, whom Benson later adopts.
Much later, Alexa turns on Roger after discovering he can walk and he is arrested while eating at a restaurant. He initially tries to deny knowing Nicky until the detectives reveal they have pictures of him with the child and also revealed that Alexa now knows he can walk to his dismay. Roger reveals the last place he dumped Nicky at, and the children are sent to foster care, apart from the boy, who is returned to his parents, while he and Alexa are sent to prison for their crimes.
